Hobbies, Man
I should really go through the time-saving hassle of updating the “new post template” on this theme I’ve been using. Might as well make the path of resistance as short as possible so I can take more time to just write things out as needed.
Man, we’re in some scary times right now. It feels as though authoritarianism is just around the corner for “The Land of the Free”. Y’all-Qaeda is ramping up attacks on secularism and freedom of speech at present, seemingly because of one dead racist guy. Oh, I’m sorry, I’m not supposed to say that. But who the fuck is going to censor me on my own platform? Hmm? You can report me to my host but they likely won’t give a shit, not like facebook or twitter would anyways. I can say whatever the fuck I want and your only choice, should you not like my words, is to avoid reading them. That’s your only recourse, and that’s how things should be. Go ahead, get mad, ball your little fists up in anger, and then move on. That’s what the first amendment guarantees me.
People being fired for shitting on Charlie Kirk should be entitled to compensation from the businesses firing them. It’s fucking absurd that people are losing livelihoods over opinions. Shit, Y’all-Qaeda got really mad when people were fired from jobs for being neo nazis or KKK members. But this “freedom for me, not for thee” bullshit can pound sand, I’m over it. Either everyone is free or no one is free. And it looks like the state machine is trying hard to pick the latter.
Well, lately I’ve been trying to distract myself from this social bullshit by forcing myself to interact with new software and different systems. It’s quite nice, actually, and I’m learning a lot. I’m gonna continue this hobby stuff in hopes that it keeps me sane until retirement.
Was this post a giant nothingburger? You bet. Do I really care? Not so much.
